Power Of RyIl aaa Coed

Mr.. Wheeler, the S. S. instructor, at the
Baptist Church, last Sabbath gave striking
illustration Of the power of evil and COED
habits on children. lie exhibited two bot
ties, one containing water, the other coll
ored poison. Taking the former for boy
starting out In life he added drops of the
poison, as an illustration, for different evil
deeds of the boy, and finally both bottles
were Of the same color, and il looked as II
the boy was beyond redemption but he
began reforming, and for every good deed
done, little antidote pellets were placed In
the bottle, until 1t assumed its original color.
It was observed by Mrs. Wheeler, though
that there were drcgs at the bottom that
could not be effaced.

As announced last week King o'Malley
was on hand at the Opera House, in this
city, Friday evening, to speak on prohibi.
ton, etc. The house was full Mr.. O'Mal-
ley talked for over an hour and a half IN a
very random kind OF manner but with
considerable Aueney. The trouble with
O'Mailey's speaking is that one Is uncertain
whether he is in earnest, or simply talking
for buncombe. He told several stories, In
which minister or church was generally
the hero, and gave some good argu-
inents in favor of prohibition. lie attacked
the saloon rough shod, and showed how
most Of the crime emanstes from II, It's evil
influence In reference to women and It's bad
influence generally. II Ian OK dies the meat
is diseased and cannot be sold. This Is pro.
hibition. A man can eat his own dead oz
but should not be allowed to sell It. II
Kansas the speaker said prohibition was like
other laws but was enforced more thar
any other law in that State, though like al
laws 1t was evaded, by druggists prescrip
tons, in secret, and,in three cities,wher tn,
officers had been elected for the occasion
openly. In one OF the cities, ,though,( Leav
enworth) one of the saloon keepers hac
recently been fined $4,000 and there wa
disorder In the business.
AS the lecture was free, and the speake
had the option of talking on whatever sub
ject he pleased there should be no yer,
savage complaint II some things were sail
that might better not have been said.

you have been rather unfortunate Ia the
matter Of iine mares. You never owned

Albany is to have the electric light sys-
tenn. A sufficient number of business men
have agreed to take lights to insure the
system for the city, about one hundred
lights having been contracted for. Besides
this the city will no doubt agree to take
from ten to fifteen lights. These lights will
add greatly to the nightly appearance Of
First Street and the city generally, and the
. enterprise deserves encouragement.
